Abstract
Two new heating plants for the campus of the Binghamton Psychiatric Center in Binghamton, New York, are being built. The two boiler plant buildings are approximately one-third of a mile apart. Plant A houses two 500 HP boilers and one 300 HP boiler, and two 400 HP boilers and one 300 HP boiler are housed in Plant B. All boilers are fired with #2 oil. The steam pressure generated in Plant A is 60 PSI to provide steam for heating and kitchen load; and 125 PSI in Plant B for laundry, heating and kitchen load. Two plants were selected to replace one larger plant to reduce distribution cost and losses.
